No Rules Sandy (LP)
Sylvan Esso
Amoeba Review
Sylvan Esso’s No Rules Sandy is a hazy summer daydream of an album. During the album sessions, the band decamped to Los Angeles, where they focused on experimenting and improvising. Perhaps it’s not surprising then that there’s a serpentine quality to the songs; the listener never knows where the next turn will take them, but oh boy is it an enjoyable ride. The songs flow from almost ethereal Stereolab-esque electropop to glitchy, distorted, yet ultimately danceable party tracks. No Rules Sandy is one of Sylvan Esso’s most exciting records with enough toe-tappers to and unexpected twists to make any fan happy.
